How it works

SEVELABAY 400 contains the active ingredient Sevelamer Carbonate. Sevelamer Carbonate is a phosphate binder used in the management of high phosphate levels in the blood, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by binding to phosphate in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. By reducing phosphate absorption, Sevelamer Carbonate helps lower elevated phosphate levels in the blood, which can occur in CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
